A note here for the Linux newbes. You really don't need to worry about
much of this infection stuff on your linux box. Many open and read these
infected files just so they can say they can!

I should sound a cautionary note, if you are a newbe to the linux system
and are running the EMC as root, you should set up your system to surf and
email as a user rather than as root. There is also a FAQ on linuxcnc.org on
operating EMC as a user. "What do I need to do to run EMC as a user?"
